Hey peeps, this has always been a big question and battle. I wanna hear all your thoughts towards this on going fued between the 2 developers. I started out as nba live guy, on the ps2, then to the 360 with nbalive06 and 07, then i got my hands on nba2k7 and thats when it all changed. this is my opinion, i think that 2k takes the lead in this on going battle. the gameplay in that game is way more advanced and soo much smoother than the live series. the game is so much more realistic and sounds better. now it may not have the same superb visuals as nba live does, but when it comes to wich game you want to buy, u would rather go for 2k, who cares if the visuals arn't spectacular, the graphics are all right, but the game play in nba live is brutal and it has always beeen the same since it was first realeasd way back then. so share yout opinions

Well the 2k basketball gameplay has been the same since way back then also, except a few minor additions. I was always a 2k person going back to the first game from the dreamcast. 2k was always the better game and always will be to me. The graphics are not as bad as people make em out to be. They are just perfect IMO and 2k9 will just prove how good this game is. Until Live can get the gameplay right, I wont buy another one. 08 was a good game and I loved it, but it just wasn't addicting like 2k8 was. If live 09 can improve the gameplay I would gladly play Live.

The 2k basketball franchise is a lot better,it's just so realistic. I absolutley hate Live and probably won't buy another as long as 2k is still around.

every year they make nba live to be the best and every year 2k is always on top. and about 2k's gameplay being the same for a while, if it aint broke, dont fix it.

I agree. The 2K series is better than NBA Live, at least on the Xbox 360. I was a big fan of the NBA Live series on previous consoles. Now that I've played the 2K NBA games, I realize what I've been missing in terms of gameplay. I find that the NBA Live games are often "prettier" than 2K, but I'll take solid gameplay over pretty graphics.

like everyone here, i loved LIVE on the xbox. but a little while before that, a system, maybe you heard of it, the Dreamcast, had the best ball series ever. NBA 2K,2K1, AND 2K2!! but on the xbox, live was untouched. Now I LOVE 2k, there back to being the best. but i have two suggestions for the 2K team. look at live 2005, it had HUNDREDS of shoes like Jordan and nike and many, many throwback jerseys. i wish they mixed that live and the current 2ks together, shoes and jerses only!

live is alright. but, 2K IS THE WAY TO GO!!

yea most of the nba2k gamers all started out playin live cause live was the nba game to have on the old consols. but ye just i find everything in 2k is better then live has and what they have to offer. live's new big thing is player dna, wich sounds pretty cool, but i dont think live will use it to its full potential, and that it will have no effect on the game. also people dont like how 2k menu is set up, i find nothing wrong with it, it might look allitle old fashion maby? but i have no problem with it and i like it. so i am really looking forward to 2k9 shall be a sik game, any one of u wanna challenge me some time just let me know

2K8 for sure...

Live is rubbish.
